Image by Pexel As parents you are celebrating the completion of another school year and anticipating fun in the sun with your kiddos!☀️ Are you wondering what are the safer sunscreens to buy? Let’s take a look…😎 Active ingredient to include in sunscreen: Zinc oxide Ingredients to avoid in sunscreen: Oxybenzone Avobenzone Benzophenone-4 Preservatives Fragrances (can be endocrine disruptors) Alcohol if possible (can be drying & irritating to skin) Children’s skin is more delicate and more susceptible to damage from sunburn. Having more than 5 sunburns doubles the risk for melanoma. Using sunscreen during peak hours protects the skin. Children do need safe sun exposure for Vitamin D. If not using sunscreen, choose sun exposure times that are not during the peak hours of 10 am and 4 pm.
